Know before you buy
This keycap is designed for any keyboard using Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. It is compatible with most major mechanical keyboard brands that utilize this industry-standard mount.
The keycap is backlit compatible, meaning light will shine through the design. The purple glitter finish will diffuse the light, creating a unique, glowing aesthetic rather than a sharp, clear beam.
It is crafted from durable resin. This material is chosen for its ability to hold intricate artisan details while remaining sturdy enough for daily use.
As an artisan keycap, it is designed to be a decorative accent. While it can physically fit on any standard MX-compatible switch, it is most commonly placed on the Escape key or the function row to serve as a focal point.
Artisan keycaps often feature a unique profile that differs from standard OEM or Cherry profiles. You may notice a slight height or shape difference compared to your surrounding keys, which is typical for custom artisan pieces.
